Baby Soft Crib

Abstract

A crib design with built-in padded, protective coverings for the rails (spindles), endwalls, and exposed connecting crib frame designed to avoid injury to babies from hard cribs and dangerous bumpers. The protective padding is sewn around the frame of the individual rails, endwalls, and connectors to create permanent, anchored breathable bumpers without hazardous zippers, ties, or velcro. The outer layer of the padding wipes clean, and can be manufactured in any color or pattern. The enhanced safety features of this crib make it safer than traditional cribs, cribs with traditional bumpers, or cribs with attached vertical bumpers. This invention provides a built-in element of safety from the moment the child is born and eliminates the need for any additional safety mechanisms.
